Read it again if you need to see how sad this is. Remember especially it’s from

I just got a new job at one of the 50 flagship public universities in the country…

a teaching assistant that has such an incurious mind that he’s not even willing to learn anything outside of the Huffpo RICK SCOTT’S VOTER SUPPRESSION!!! story.

Libfreeordie, you realize you’re being exactly the low-info voter the president needs you to be, right? You swallowed the story hook, line, and sinker without examination or any type of thought.

The little old lady sitting in the chamber for the SOTU address was a prop. Her story was a prop. And you bought it, and are here promoting it, because, like a religious believer, you embrace it on faith.

You had no idea about her extremely specialized language needs until I told you, did you?

You had no idea that she chose to go on the busy first day until I told you, did you?

Fox News responded by attacking a 102 year old woman who was forced to wait in 3 hour long lines because of Rick Scott’s policies. But poor Rubio or something.

But more to the point, I challenge the notion that you are someone who engages me. You don’t actually… Engagement would be responding to the substance of my claims in ways that illustrates you understand the argument and can defeat it with your own. You don’t do that and therefore you are not one of the few who “engage me.”

Wow. You people really are insane. No insult intended. I just hadn’t realized how sincerely fanatical you are. I had chalked up the earlier Sarah Palin froth to political passions. But that’s not it. Clearly, it’s deeper and creepier than that. Remarkable.
Murf76 on February 14, 2013 at 6:01 PM

Yep, exactly. It IS weird. My problem is not with Palin (though I don’t see her as the most competent, articulate, serious politician out there); my problem is more with her cultist followers who attack any Republican not named Palin. They have been conditioned by radio hosts like Mark Levin to believe she is the only “True Conservative” out there. Go ahead and ask some of these people which potential candidates besides Palin they would support for President. They can’t and won’t give an answer. And Palin isn’t even going to run, leaving these people to do nothing but whine about whoever DOES run, calling them “Establishment” RINO’s who have been “forced” on them and whose supporters have victimized poor little ol’ Sarah.

They did it to Mitt. They did it to Paul Ryan. They did it to Bachmann and Perry, and they are doing it to Rubio now. Any sane person would understand the need the look at who actually is running and support the person who best represents your values, even if you dont agree with the candidate 100% of the time, and who you think has the best chance to win. But these people won’t do that. They will whine nonstop like babies about their choices, pretending like some nefarious “establishment” conspiracy forced a candidate on them, when in fact it is primary voters themselves who choose nominees!

Sorry to say, but Palinista cultists like ddrintn have one mode and one mode only: whine and moan about “the establishment” with a “I know you are but what am I tone,” without ever actually saying anything new or actually expressing any support whatsoever for ANYONE who is actually running. They love being naysayers, something that is easy to do.

Then you have Palinista cultists like the emoticon-addicted idesign. This little character pops up and insults anyone on the Internet who denies the greatest of Queen Sarah. Go ahead and google “idesign” and “Palin” and prepare to be amazed at her trail of comments.

Just as Justin Bieber has fanatical supporters of mostly teen girls known as Beliebers who fight on his behalf on Internet comment boards everywhere, Sarah Palin has her (dwindling) army of Palinistas. Seriously, that is about at the level we’re dealing with when it comes to these people.

Palin herself has encouraged the divisiveness, and she benefits financially from it. Mark Levin, likewise, often does more harm than good.

Yes, Sarah Palin’s influence has greatly diminished in the last few years, not just because of unfair media treatment, but also because of her own failures and bad decisions. Honestly, it is for the best that Palin was let go from Fox and commands far less attention from the news media than she used to. She was always far from our brightest conservative light, and she never really had any business being the public face of conservatism nor of the Republican Party.

Look back into the HotGas archives. Discussions about Gov. Palin have ALWAYS been heated on here, sometimes with threads going on forever and a day.

I’m not on Team Rubio, but if the Fourth Estate MSM is allowed to simply destroy the guy career simply because he took a sip of water, that will further embolden then to destroy the career of a candidate I like or you like.

Not only will there be a nasty, costly civil war that the GOP Establishment is willing to wage on conservatives, but there will also be total warfare waged by the Fourth Estate MSM at the same time in which they will destroy both sides simultaneously.

All in all, it looks more and more like the Dem nominee will be the victor in 2016 without much effort.

There’s a German word which I cannot recall at the moment that describes the feeling about the pleasure to be had from the misfortunes of other, and it’s particularly sweet when such a strong element of poetic justice is mixed in.

Enjoy.

Thu, 14 Feb 2013 23:50:33 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=244538#comment-6726289Gotta admit – I didn’t watch the SOTU or the GOP response (waste of time). Especially, I didn’t care to hear a speech endorsed by the GOP Ayatollahs given by Rubio.

I did watch Rand Paul’s response … two thumbs up!

Now on Rubio … just to see what the hoopla was all about – I logged into youtube to catch his “Poland Spring” moment.

HEEEEEELARIOUS!

You have to admit – it looked incredibly funny. He looked like a little kid who just caught sneaking a beer by his Dad!!!!

He had the water there for a reason … so why did he place it so far away off camera? If you anticipate you’ll need a drink … use a podium and put the water bottle on top. I used to give speeches to crowds of 600 people or more holding a water bottle in my hand the entire time. Nobody laughed at me when I drank from it … holding a bottle of water or having on in clear view kind of says to the audience …

And I notice no attempt to answer my question. No intellectual interest, no curiosity, no moral empathy. Just “wow, you’re insane!” Ever contemplated being sued 17 times within one year, the required legal responses to which cost you tens of thousands of dollars? No, that could never happen. And you boast of having “seen the playbook.”

Wow. You people really are insane. No insult intended.
Murf76 on February 14, 2013 at 6:01 PM

Of course not. We take it in the same spirit as we have the last three ears of sloppy and flailing insults. We understand the fear and insecurity behind it, and — strangely — the same repetition of behavior expecting a different result (you know, what in polite company is called the definition of “insanity”) it represents. I mean, really, I’m getting deja vu. Is this where RINOs are picking up, where they left off?

I just hadn’t realized how sincerely fanatical you are.

Sure you did. Don’t sell yourself short.

But nice pivot, for a second there anyway. Suddenly it was “what happened to Palin is a terrible thing (though she made it worse, don’t forget), but what’s done is done. We’ve all seen the playbook now and we have to save our RINO.” Hilarious. I saw the playbook in 1979. Any conservative worth his salt or who was a functional human being in the 1990s and didn’t have it figured out with Clinton and Podesta and Blumenthal and Moveon.org is kind of a non-player, an unserious person. So this is all very revealing.

What’s “creepy” is “those media commies are making fun of Marco!!! We can NOT let that happen!!!!” But whatever happens to Palin is all her own fault. YOU shits are the reason squishes lose. You’re transparent.
